The nconle OF thepoutbern states. Differences
NJ oninion as tn ita true theory and its proper
Construction in acme poInts existed from its
very creation. and controversy has often been
angry and bitter. One great and important
interest in the prop ress of things became
sectionalized and out of 1t rose a question of
constitutional Interpretation, which was re-
gsrded bv southern people as 40 vital to their
Fights and interests that they committed their
solution TO the arbitration Of arms, but Mr..
President. thew have bowed TO the stern logic
Of events. until thew have. in a frank and
manly way. accented the result of the
struggle "a Anal settlement Of all questions

rare courage fortitude. and cheerfulness to
accommodate themselves 10 their new con-
ditions. 10 reconstrllcl their broken fortunes

foundations The chief element OF discord
has been removed forever; and though ques-

ces that NAV arise from the action Of the gen.
eral government the remedy must hereafter
be sought within the pale OF the union and
under the forms Of established law. There Is
a distinguishing feature OF this occasion which
invests 1t with peculiar interest Heretofore
presidential progresses have usually been OF
political character and have been without the
grace and charm afforded BY the female pres
ence aud influence.
In these respects the present event Is excep-
tloual. We all rejoice that you are accomps-
MED BY Mrs. Cleveland and we are glad Of an
opportunity to lay at her feet our tribute OF
homage and admiration To her felow-coun-
try women, her presence is especially crafty
ing. They are proud to have such represen-
tatve Of their sex rs the presiding spirit OF
the executive mansion, and the head OF socIe.
tv at the national capital, and TO know that In
the discharge Of all her duties, she is constant
ly winning golden opinions from all sorts Of
people. On behalf OF the ladies Of Memphis
